Cork’s most famous son teamed up with the city’s most well-known TV show as season two premiered on BBC 3, with an episode inspired by Roddy Doyle’s The Van.

Keano was even decked out in a Cork City scarf – the club he almost represented at the start of his career, before a last-minute U-turn took him to Cobh Ramblers instead.

But even Roy couldn’t get a fish supper off of Conor and Jock.

Scenes for the episode were filmed at Turner’s Cross during Cork City’s friendly against Preston last July.

The episode will air on RTÉ 2 next Monday, November 11, at 9.30pm.
